It is with great pleasure and pride that The Baldwin School celebrated its 2024 Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees on October 17. This year, our selection committee reviewed over 30 competitive nominations and is pleased to honor five alumnae as part of the 2024 Class of inductees!

• Mary Scott McElroy ’53 (Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Tennis) – Mary is one of the most versatile athletes from what her class affectionately calls “The Golden Age” at Baldwin. She was a member of the tennis team, varsity field hockey team and captain of the lacrosse team. Friends describe her as energetic, good-natured and always laughing, so it is no surprise that she was also Baldwin’s White Blazer winner (Baldwin’s highest athletic award) in 1953.

• Charlotte Haldeman Whitmore ’99 (Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Squash) – Charlotte was a standout athlete at Baldwin, excelling in lacrosse and field hockey. In her senior year, Charlotte's dedication and commitment to both sports were recognized when she received the Baldwin White Blazer Award. Charlotte's athletic accomplishments were further acknowledged when she was awarded the Tracy Tunnel '69 MVP Award for field hockey. Charlotte's leadership and hard work on and off the field made her a key player at Baldwin. After graduating from Baldwin, Charlotte continued her journey of excellence at Dartmouth College, this time in squash.
• Emma Hamm ’07 (Basketball, Lacrosse, Soccer) - Emma played varsity soccer and basketball in 8th grade and varsity lacrosse in 9th grade and earned honorable mentions on the Main-Line and All Inter-Ac teams in 8th grade.

On the lacrosse field, she was first-team All-Inter-Ac and All-Main Line as a freshman, then won MVP from sophomore year through senior year, collecting additional Inter-Ac and Main Line accolades.

• Alexandra Sawin Hull ’10 (Golf, Squash, Soccer) – Alexandra was a founding member of the squash program, a role that would shape the future of the sport at Baldwin.
